SILVA FILHO, Antonio Francisco Menezes da; FELIX, Bruno  e  MAINARDES, Emerson Wagner. Occupational callings: A double-edged sword for burnout and stress. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.1, pp.45-55. ISSN 1413-294X.  https://doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20210006.

We evaluate the bivalent relationship between perceiving a calling and burnout syndrome and occupational stress. We suggest that although callings are negatively associated with burnout and stress, they produce a positive effect on both, having the perception of paradoxical tensions as a mediator. For this purpose, we conducted a quantitative survey of 539 individuals. The results showed a direct effect, according to which the more individuals perceive an occupational calling, the smaller the symptoms of burnout and stress. We also found an opposite indirect effect: the more individuals perceive a calling, the greater the symptoms of burnout and stress caused by increased paradoxical tensions that are experienced by individuals. Our findings show the importance of problematizing the idea of occupational callings as a necessarily positive antecedent for career development.
